"Miracle Man"

Frank Hansen - Miracle Man

During a recent ministry visit to Denmark, we once again met with Frank Hansen – a Christian biker for the past 20 years or more. There is a move of the Lord amongst bikers all over Europe and America. It is amazing how God is using these “outsiders” to reach a hurting and wounded world with His love. Such is the fire and zeal among these wonderful men of God that many are not only willing but are actually risking their life by telling their old group that they are leaving the group or gang – an act perceived almost as bad as treason and punishable by anything up to and including death.

Some of you may recall the story of Frank Hansen who was mown down by a car, (not a truck as I first thought), and inflicted with the most horrendous injuries. Known now as “Miracle Man”, Frank has an astonishing testimony to Gods healing power and grace. In the accident, Frank was consigned to a wheelchair where he stayed for over three and a half years. His foot was virtually severed – held on only by skin and the boots he was wearing. His thigh was broken in three places. When we met him first of all, he had pneumonia. His injuries left him with tinnitus, asthma, loss of the sense of smell, septicaemia, a bent spine which gave him crooked shoulders, and many other things wrong or broken. As I say, we first met him two months ago. The local medical services not only saved his life but they patched him up as best they could.

When we were at a prayer meeting, a lady, who turned out to be Franks wife Bente, came up to me and asked if we could come to their home and pray for Frank. He was very despondent, suffering greatly from pain and depression, and actually almost suicidal despite his own and Bente’s faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. So we went there and, when we arrived, we spotted this rather forlorn and bent figure standing on a second floor balcony and leaning heavily on his stick.
Peter, our leader, called up to him – “Are you Frank?”
“Yes” came the response.
“Are you ready to be healed?”
“Yes” but this time it seemed to come back more as a roar !!

Frank was a sorry sight. He could barely stand let alone walk. He had been wheelchair bound for three and a half years but had recently asked for physiotherapy from the hospital and had learned to balance and walk a very short distance on his own. It was obvious that his right leg was two or even three inches shorter than the left. His right shoulder was three inches lower than his left and his spine was in an S-shape. He wasn’t breathing well although we put this down to the effort he required just to get out of his second floor flat to the balcony. Fortunately, the flats have a lift otherwise he would have been completely house-bound.

We anointed him and started to pray. Peter received several words of knowledge which were all confirmed. As we prayed, I had the ultimate privilege of watching his right leg grow to the same length as the left leg !! We stood him up, and watched his frame become straight !! His spine straightened and his shoulders became square. Frank had a huge grin on his face !! Many tears flowed. Frank told us he had a hospital appointment next week so we told him to get everything confirmed. Over the next few days, we heard from Frank the full extent of his healing as it all gradually manifested. Things like his lungs cleared as asthma and pneumonia cleared up; his sense of taste and smell returned; the ringing in his ears went !! So many things.

Come the day of his hospital appointment, his consultant was expecting a cripple to walk or rather to totter into the surgery. He could not believe his own eyes when Frank strode in and he called a colleague to confirm what his eyes were telling him. Frank asked to be taken off all the drugs and was told they were so powerful that it would take a year to get him right off them. Yet today Frank is on his last couple of weeks of the now very weak drugs. There has been no ‘cold turkey’; no shaking or any withdrawal symptoms at all. His consultant has said that he doesn’t know how or why – but Frank is healed. It’s an incomprehensible miracle medically, but he is fully healed. Frank has witnessed Jesus to him but we don’t know what effect, if any, Franks witness has had. We do know that Frank has since led at least three people to the Lord through his testimony.

On November 20th 2009 Frank Hansen was a broken man apparently destined to spend the rest of his life a cripple or at least a permanently damaged man. Today, in mid-January 2010, Frank Hansen is completely healed and restored to fine health thanks to the healing power of our wonderful God. Bente says that she has the man she first married 23 years ago back again. Frank says the God has given him his life back and he will now spend the rest of it winning the lost back to the Lord.

What an amazing God we serve. Hallelujah \o/
